Venus of Willendorf has moved: Until spring 2015 our halls 11 to 13 are being closed due to realignments. Venus of Willendorf will be shown in hall 4, where she can be visited, neighbouring diamonds, smaragds and gold nuggets, till the reopening in 2015.

May we introduce? Tafassasset, the latest acquisition for our meteorite collection. From now on you can visit the extraterrestrial rock, which was found in the Ténéré desert (Niger), in display case 55 in Room V. This special object was donated to the NHM Vienna by the finder Bernard Dejonghe.
